QQ vs unknown UTG

[BorisTheSpider]

Villain is unknown. All I know is he's sitting short and minraises UTG. Is 3betting planning to get this in preflop a mistake?

you cant just call the preflop 4bet,that would be -ev. 5bet AI and folding to 4bet are both ok i guess, but i prefer preflop AI

[Cobra_1878]

That's quite a big 3bet given villain's raise.

Given he is unknown and his 4bet size is fucking awful I wanna just call and see a flop.

I think you should just call 4bets in these positions without a specific read you are value shoving.

3b size is huge no?

I would 3b to 0.6-0.65.

As played, if you ever flat 4b IP then I don't mind flatting here sometimes. If you're not comfortable continuing to a 4b then I wouldn't 3b in the first place, esp when you make it sooo big that he's much less likely to call you OOP.

[BorisTheSpider]

Yeah, it looks like flatting a 4bet here is what I should have done.

3bet size was big because, despite having no hands on him, he was sitting short and had minraised UTG so my plan was to get as much money as possible in preflop. It might be an overadjustment based on limited reads.
